The "London Challenge Cup"—which anyone could enter—was won by Arne Hoel of Oslo. The event attracted a huge crowd—the BBC report says "tens of thousands of people"—and was so successful that plans were discussed for it to be repeated the following year. However, the BBC report says "The ski-jump competition was never held again, despite several attempts to revive it." (en)
